The relativistic-random-phase approximation (RRPA) methodology, developed by Walter Johnson and his collaborators, has been used extensively over the past three decades to calculate various aspects of the atomic photoionization process, cross sections, and branching ratios along with dipole and nondipole contributions to the photoelectron angular distribution. In this paper, some of the progress made in our understanding of the photoionization process as a result of RRPA calculations is reviewed.PACS No.: 32.80.Fb

The γ-ray strength function (γSF) is a nuclear quantity that governs photoabsorption in (γ, n) and photoemission in (n, γ) reactions. Within the framework of the γ-ray strength function method, we use (γ, n) cross sections as experimental constraints on the γSF from the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov plus quasiparticle-random phase approximation based on the Gogny D1M interaction for E1 and M1 components. The experimentally constrained γSF is further supplemented with the zero-limit M1 and E1 strengths to construct the downward γSF with which (n, γ) cross sections are calculated. We investigate (n, γ) cross sections in the context of astrophysical applications over the nickel and barium isotopic chains along the s-process path.

A systematic investigation of neutrino-nucleus reaction rates at low and intermediate energies of the stable 94Mo isotope is performed. Differential and integrated cross sections for neutrino inelastic scattering off the aforementioned target are calculated for neutrino energies εi ≼ 100 MeV. The nuclear wave functions for the initial and final nuclear states are constructed in the context of the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA). The reliability of our method is tested by checking the reproducibility of the low-lying energy spectrum of the isotope under investigation.

The relativistic calculations of the cross-section σ, the angular-distribution parameter β, and spin-polarization parameters {ξ,η,ζ} of photoelectrons using the multiconfiguration relativistic random-phase approximation theory for the photoionization of the B+ ion are presented. Precise energies and widths of all five Rydberg series of doublyexcited states (2pns)1P1o, (2pns)3P1o, (2pnd)1P1o, (2pnd)3P1o, and (2pnd)3D1o are determined. Our predictions are in very close agreement with experiments and are consistent with other calculations.
